CONJURELLA FRANKENHEAD & THE 827 MYSTERY

or   HOW THE WONDER WOMAN GIRL LOOKED

by

T. Casey Brennan

This is the story of the music of the abominations.

This is the story of 827, which was a magical place
where you simply could not fall off your skateboard,
no matter how bad you were, or how hard you tried,
where the men were all punk rockers, where the girls
were all wonders of the defiant culture of the 21st
century, as radiant, bold, and inexplicable as the
newschoolers code of art which they followed.

This is a skateboarding story about how I joined a
band and got hit by a car, and another story about how
I sold my soul to the devil. In the 1970s, I had
written Vampirella stories now immortalized in the
1992 Harris Publications trade paperback, VAMPIRELLA:
TRANSCENDING TIME & SPACE. I did not create
Vampirella, but rather, inherited her from the late
Archie Goodwin, who had infused an initially satirical
comic with overtones of Lovecraft, a "Cult of Chaos"
which mimicked the black magic cult of pulp fiction, a
cult some swore, was real.

Long ago, great serpents we now call dinosaurs ruled
the earth. As we all know from reading comic books
and various hippie religious scriptures, these did not
all die out before man appeared. So, in those days,
when both man and serpent walked the earth, the legend
of Solomon appeared, claimed by both believers in god,
and black magicians. And Solomon banished them in a
day and a night, telling them, "After these signs, you
may return. First the crucifixion of the Christ, then
the stoning of the prophet, then the revelation of the
golden tablets, then plague shall sweep the Earth,
then shall man's reign upon the world be ended, then
shall the old ones return. Then shall they come forth
from the old places, then shall they swoop down from
the skies, then shall they spew forth in slime from
the earth, then shall they come up from the sea. Then
shall their serpent yearning be ended; then shall they
rule eternal."

Some of the great serpents fled to the stars, some
went into the great caverns of the earth, some went
into Einsteinian parallel worlds, always to yearn for
the day that they would return and take back their
ancestral home. They are gone, but not gone, and when
they return, their absence shall be but a moment. It
shall seem that they were always here, that they never
left, like an errant lover that returns to our
welcoming arms. As we all know, sometimes they are
far beneath the surface, but sometimes in the Earth
only inches beneath our feet, yearning, always
yearning, to claw up, to return, to reclaim their
serpent glory. As we all know, they lurk in dark,
secret places, waiting.

So the Vampirella series had tied my name irrevocably
to the Lovecraftian pulp mythos, and, knowing that, I
had played that card in the late 1990s, as I began
writing a series of autobiographical stories that
would allege my own, and my family's, unwilling
association with the JFK assassination, under the
direction of the CIA's now outlawed and exposed
MK-ULTRA program. The first of the stories, called
CONJURELLA, can be found at:


http://www.geocities.com/avalard/brennan/conjurella.html

Though devoid of occult references, it had been
followed by a host of sequels, all recalling the
pseudo-Lovecraftian philosophy which my past
association with Vampirella had validated. And
suddenly, my comic book work of the 1970s had taken on
a new importance, as I booked such varied appearances
as the Motor City Comic Con in Novi, Michigan and the
X-Zone nationally syndicated radio program.

So on February 1st, 2003, in one world, I was heading
for an 8:00 pm appointment, at 5:00 pm, with the 1990s
Ann Arbor underground band, Frankenhead, where the
extra time could be utilized for further planning on
the Frankenhead CD we had planned, with me, the comic
book writer in a state of lateral expansion, doing
cover vocals for rock classics. In another world, I
was painfully early to see Frankenhead guitarist Jim
McGee, he would not be home, or consider it an
imposition to come just after 5:00 for an appointment
at 8:00 pm.

But in still another world, which was the real one, I
was struck by a car at 5:00 pm on Washtenaw, as I
entered Ypsi on foot. I was hurled through the air
and knocked to the pavement, regaining consciousness
only as I was being taken into an ambulance. Had I
been on a skateboard, and had mastered the ability to
push off, I would have cleared her left front bumper
in time. But, in the real world, I had time only to
make one leap before her hood caught me in the
abdomen in mid-air.

A long time ago, on another trip, before everything
happened in Dallas, before I was ever a comic book
writer, when Mama and Daddy were still alive, we went
to Detroit. We didn't go to Detroit very often, since
we lived in the country in Avoca, Michigan, so it was
a big trip. My late parents were paragons of The
Peter Principle in action. The Peter Principle, from
a how-to-succeed-in-business paperback, said that
people are always promoted to a position they can't
quite handle, then stay there. So, while living a
life of rural poverty, my late parents both became
nationally known authors and local school board
officials.

So it must have been before the Kennedy assassination
that we made the trip to Detroit to see the doughnut
place, since Mama and Daddy were still nice, which
they weren't, for long, after Dr. E got a hold of
them. Dr. E had used both my parents, known to the
world as paperback author Alice Brennan, and St. Clair
County, Michigan, Board of Education member, William
James Brennan, for his experiments. Dr. E had pills
for us all to take, they were bad pills that made us
either pass out or think we could do whatever we
wanted. Eventually, they made Mama and Daddy as bad
as Dr. E himself, but that hadn't happened yet.

So we all went to Detroit to see the doughnut place.
We lived in the country then, and sometimes, at night,
we could look into the distance and see a dim glow,
almost like a sunset. Daddy looked at that glow once,
and said "That's Detroit!". And it was.

The doughnut place covered, I think, three floors. A
big sign on the wall said: "The optimist sees only the
doughnut; the pessimist sees only the hole."

We kept going back - I don't know why, and my dad got
to like the guy who owned it. Or maybe he knew him to
begin with, I don't remember which.

So in the other trip, the new trip, I had been hit by
the car after months of preparations for a kind of
merger with Frankenhead. Initially, I had intended
only a horror comic book based on the band's name.
Jim McGee and I had produced ashcan editions of a
FRANKENHEAD comic, reminiscent of my old Warren
stories,posted in part, at:


http://www.geocities.com/frankenheadlives

Warren was the publisher of CREEPY, EERIE, and
VAMPIRELLA -- the latter, best known for a 1996
made-for-television movie starring Talisa Soto and
Roger Daltrey of The Who.

But at the May 2003 party, at the Novi Doubletree
Hotel, Jim and I performed a karaoke rendition of WILD
THING on stage. Everyone loved it, and everyone knew
of the tie-in to the collectors item comics I had
autographed all week-end. Ironically, though now
penniless and unemployed, fans flocked to dealers
tables at that convention, bringing me a variety of
items to autograph, paying as much as twenty dollars
for items ranging from vintage Warren comics containing
my work, to the more recent trade paperback, VAMPIRELLA:
TRANSCENDING TIME & SPACE, by T. Casey Brennan
and Steve Englehart.

But May had brought an end to my stay with
FRANKENHEAD, and I found myself taken in by the
magical commune known as 827. Those early weeks had
found me barely able to walk after being hit by the
car, and sometimes I had to be helped to my feet. But
at other times, I was able to stand on a skateboard in
827's deep carpet and do knee-bends, or do drift
warily down 827's inclined sidewalk, still unable to
turn or push off -- capable only in my stance and my
ability to stay on. In better days, I had spread my
legs instantly in a karate stance, once, at a party,
while bailing. But at 827, I had taken my only fall
not on my feet, from a skateboard -- I fell into an
upholstered chair, in a sitting position.

That was the magic of 827. 827 was an aura, a bold
reflection of a culture somehow both sociopathic and
ethical, a culture where skateboarding was a
revolutionary act, where "goth" had become a
subculture, not the vague cross-section of shoppers
who had purchased my Vampirella comics, and my late
mother's gothic novels in decades past. It was one
such novel, CASTLE MIRAGE by Alice Brennan, that had
been reprinted in Leicester by a company known both as
Ulverscroft and F.A. Thorpe, that launched the
CONJURELLA autobiographical series in which I alleged
my own, and my late parents' unwilling involvement in
the Kennedy assassination. Propelling me back into
the public eye, I launched into a variety of
convention appearances, radio interviews, and
write-ups in fan publications and websites, including
the Austin, Texas rock magazine SALT FOR SLUGS, which
included me in their Winter 1998 issue.

So this was how it all ended. The day before the
black-out, 827 closed and I was never to see it again.
Instead, on August 14, 2003, I sat on a porch with
Jim McGee of FRANKENHEAD in a darkened Ypsilanti, not
far from where I had been hit by a car. A kind of
glowing fog hung low on the darkened streets, and
roaming bands of dazed zombies walked about aimlessly
with flashlights. Always the band's composition was
the same -- white youths, a pretty girl in the lead,
and seven to eight able-bodied male companions. All
this, of course, had followed a day of unbearable
heat, and a sky glowing unnaturally reddish-purple,
almost ultraviolet in its hue, but somehow beyond that
in its odd blasphemy of sunlight.

As the night wore on, the bands become more hostile,
and, as I sat on the porch and watched, flashlight
wars would develop with repetitive shouts of "Take
that flashlight off of me!" and "Not until you do!".
All of that, and 827 was no more.

And, in the old times, the nice doughnut man closed up
forever. Then Mama and Daddy made a deal with Dr. E,
like I said in CONJURELLA, and they got me involved
like a stooge passing out right-wing pamphlets in Peck
High School, in Sanilac County, Michigan, then they
drugged me and kidnapped me and made me fire first
from the Texas School Book Depository Building in
Dallas. Later, I wrote about it, and started
autographing my old comic books like I hadn't done
since the '70s, then, at last, entered the magical
commune of 827.

And then, long afterward, I went to visit the man who
had begun it all, who had begun 827. The Wonder Woman
girl was there, and this was how she looked:

The Wonder Woman girl wears a veneer of intellectuality
like Wonder Woman's secret identity, Diana Prince.
It is not that it is not genuine, it is only that it
conceals, but for a moment, an exquisite delicacy of
features, a lithe form, a face adorned with a wavy curl
of dark hair that falls down upon her face on the right,
though her hair is pulled back and tied. Somehow, that
one strand of hair has burst loose, and now adorns her.
As the evening progresses, more and more strands of dark
wavy hair join their lustrous companion, and it is a
slow motion cascade, as, one by one, the strands fall
along the side of her face.

The End

http://www.cyberspaceorbit.com/
[Exclusive extract from a lecture at the Templar Lodge Hotel,
Gullane, near Edinburgh, Scotland, 6th June 1999]
by Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince, authors of
The Templar Revelation


It was very surprising set of circumstances that led us to write
our new book, The Stargate Conspiracy. We did not set to write
such a book.
Rather, we intended to pursue certain lines of research following
on from our last book, The Templar Revelation, in which we concluded
that Christianity was an off-shoot of the Egyptian mystery religion
of Isis and Osiris. In that book, we only took the story back to the
Egypt of the first century. It was our intention to extend the
research further back into the history of Egypt and the roots of
its religion.

Our research led us back to the most ancient religion known from
ancient Egypt, that of Heliopolis, whose beliefs and cosmology,
which are encapsulated in the Pyramid Texts, inspired the
builders of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Inevitably, we were drawn
into considering the mysteries posed by the great monuments of
the Pyramid Age. And, of course, we could not ignore the recent
flood of high-profile books dealing with, and offering solutions
to, those mysteries, which make up what has been called
'alternative Egyptology'.

Throughout the 1990s, many books, challenging the arrogance
and complacency of academic Egyptology and opening our eyes
to the wonders of that ancient culture, have reached a huge
audience world-wide. In this field, two names stand out above
the rest: Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval, authors - jointly
and separately - of such books as The Orion Mystery,
Fingerprints of the Gods, Keeper of Genesis and, most recently,
The Mars Mystery.

It was looking at these new theories and ideas that led our
research in a very unexpected direction, and which led
ultimately to The Stargate Conspiracy.

We need to make a very important point at the outset.
Much of what we are about to say is critical of some of
these new ideas, and you may even begin to suspect that
we are, in some way, sceptics. This is not so.
We believe that there are genuine mysteries about ancient
Egypt - such as how (and why) they built the pyramids, where
their civilisation came from, and how they knew many of the
things that they knew. We are not admirers of the obstinate
arrogance of academic Egyptology, and have enormous reverence
for ancient Egypt, its culture and religion, and the
achievements of its people. It is precisely because we have
such reverence that we feel so strongly about the way that
the very real mysteries of Egypt have, effectively,
been hijacked in order to serve other agendas.

Where there is a mystery there is the potential for
exploitation, by offering apparent solutions that support
particular systems of belief.
This potential is even stronger when the mystery involves
something as evocative as ancient Egypt, whose works, such
as the pyramids and Sphinx, speak so powerfully to
our imaginations.

The Alternative Egyptology tries to explain the enigma of the
advanced technical knowledge of the ancient Egyptians - as
displayed most obviously in the building of the Great
Pyramid - by one of two theories (or sometimes a combination
of the two). The first is that the ancient Egyptians were
merely an off-shoot, or heirs, of a much older, advanced
civilisation - such as Atlantis - which has been erased
from history by some global catastrophe. The second is that
the great monuments of the ancient world were either built
by, or the skills to build them taught by, visitors from
another world.

One of the most influential of books in this field is The
Sirius Mystery by Robert Temple, which was first published
in 1976 and in an extensively updated edition in 1998.
As many of you will know, it homes in on the extraordinary
knowledge of a West African tribe, the Dogon of Mali.
The Dogon religion centres on the star Sirius. There is nothing
unusual about that because, as Sirius is the brightest star in
the sky, many cultures have incorporated it into their beliefs
and mythology. However, what intrigued Temple - and many
others - was that French anthropologists who studied the Dogon
religion reported that they also believed that Sirius has a
companion - a very small and very heavy star that is invisible
to the naked eye.

We now know that this is true. Sirius is a binary star system,
with a second, white dwarf star - very small, very heavy - in
orbit around the main star. Sirius B, as it is called, was only
discovered in 1842, and it was not photographed until the 1970s.
How, then, could the Dogon have known about it?

Temple's theory is that the knowledge of Sirius B originated
from actual contact with extraterrestrials from a planet in
the Sirius system. He argues that this contact took place,
not in West Africa, but in the Middle East, among the ancient
civilisations of Egypt and Sumer, and that the extraterrestrials
were responsible for the development of those civilisations - and
therefore, ultimately, of our own. The knowledge of that contact,
and of Sirius B, was incorporated into Egyptian and Sumerian
mythology, and the secret was passed on to the Greeks, and
then to various other cultures, eventually reaching the Dogon.

Because of its apparently academic and scholarly approach,
Temple's book received a level of critical acclaim and
acceptance that set it apart from other 'ancient astronaut'
theories, such as those of Erich von Daniken. .

The anomalous knowledge of the Dogon - not just about Sirius,
but many other things - does present a genuine mystery.
However, Temple was keen to link this with ancient Egypt,
and here, in our view, his case is less than persuasive, as
major parts of his argument are based on factual errors,
and are often contrived.

For example, one of the key points in his case involves the
interpretation of myths connected with Anubis, the
jackal-headed god of the dead. His justification for this
is that Sirius is known as the 'Dog Star', so, by a process
of ideas we go from dog to jackal to Anubis. Therefore, when
the ancient Egyptians spoke about Anubis they were really
talking about Sirius, or rather Sirius B.

But there is a major problem with this - the ancient Egyptians
did not associate Sirius with Anubis. For them, Sirius was the
star of the goddess Isis, and sometimes, by extension, her
son Horus. It was the Greeks who called Sirius the Dog Star,
because it was in the constellation that they named the Great
Dog (Canis Major). The Egyptians never made a connection
between Sirius and either Anubis or dogs. Therefore,
Temple's use of legends connected with Anubis is based on
an entirely false premise.

Another chain of associations followed by Temple relates to
the Hermetic literature - the magical and philosophical texts
ascribed to the legendary sage Hermes Trismegistus - which he
believes incorporates references to the 'Sirius secret'.
His justification for doing so is that - he says - the Greeks
equated their god Hermes with Anubis.

Amazingly, Temple has (as far as we are aware) gone unchallenged
on this point for more than twenty years - because it is just
plain wrong.
Hermes was the equivalent of the Egyptian Thoth, not Anubis. Once
again, Temple has based an entire line of reasoning on a mistake.
But such is his influence that many people have simply accepted it.

There are many similar examples in Temple's book, which in our view
seriously undermine his attempt to trace the 'Sirius secret' - and
therefore the visitation of beings from Sirius - back to ancient
Egypt.

Temple makes another mistake in The Sirius Mystery, which is a small
slip in itself, and of no particular significance to his argument,
but which does - as we will see - have some very important
ramifications in another context.

Temple gives as one of the ancient Egyptian names for the Sphinx of
Giza the words arq ur. Many others, using Temple as their authority,
have since repeated this as fact. Unfortunately, arq ur does not mean
'Sphinx'. It means 'silver'. The mistake arose because Temple misread
the entry for arq ur in Sir E.A. Wallis Budge's classic 1920
dictionary of Egyptian hieroglyphs.

Against the entry for arq ur, two English words appear after the
hieroglyphs. One is 'silver', the correct definition. The other
reads 'Sphinx, 2, 8'. This is not a definition, but a reference
to Budge's source, a French Egyptological journal called Sphinx.
The '2' refers to the volume, and '8' the page number. On page 8
of volume 2 are the hieroglyphs for 'silver' that Budge used in
his dictionary.

This mistake does not carry any particular significance for
Temple's overall argument, as he mentions it only in
passing - but it does turn up in some very surprising places.

The revised edition of The Sirius Mystery, published last year,
contains some significant new material.

In the original 1976 edition, Temple only argued the case for
extraterrestrial contact in the ancient past. In the new edition
he has extended his argument to the imminent return of these
'space-gods'. He now believes that they did not return home to
the Sirius system, but placed themselves in suspended animation
somewhere in our solar system, so that one day they would awaken
and return to see how the civilisation that they created has
developed. Temple suggests that their return is now imminent.

Also in the new edition, Temple claims that The Sirius Mystery
attracted the unwelcome interest of both the CIA and the British
intelligence services. In fact, he says that the CIA tried to
interfere with his research while he was writing the book, and
that after it came out they persecuted him for the next 15 years.

The implication is that the CIA wanted to hinder Temple's research for
The Sirius Mystery, which in turn implies that they wanted to stop him
writing the book - which implies that, for some reason, they didn't
want us to read it.

There is no doubt that Temple is being sincere, as he can by no
means be called a paranaoic with a fear of persecution by the CIA.
He tells the story of their harassment with some indignation - since
he is himself a staunch supporter and defender of that agency.
For example, in a 1989 book about the 'uses and abuses' of hypnosis,
he defends the CIA's excesses in their notorious mind control
research of the 1950s and 60s, as exemplified most infamously in
their MKULTRA project. In fact, Temple proudly proclaims that he
refused even to read books exposing these experiments.

However, if the CIA did want to stop The Sirius Mystery from being
published, this is hardly a good advertisement for their efficiency.
Similarly, the implication that the CIA persecuted him for the next
15 years because he had written the book does not make much sense.
What was the point, if the book was already out? Not only that, but
they also failed to prevent him publishing a new, updated
version - which includes the story of their interest in the book.

In fact, the knowledge of their interest in, and apparent
opposition to, The Sirius Mystery only adds to its appeal.
It actively encourages interest in the book, on the grounds
that, if the CIA don't want us to read it, there must be
something worth reading. We suspect that this was the CIA's
real intention, in a classic example of reverse psychology.

The above examples of mistakes in Temple's book demonstrate the
need for careful checking of such claims. As researchers, this is
something that we always try to do. And it was something that we did
when we looked into the work of the two major names in Alternative
Egyptology, Robert Bauval and Graham Hancock.

As most of you will know, Hancock and Bauval's work centres on the
importance of the year 10500 BC. Around this time, they argue, some
cataclysm took place that destroyed an advanced, global civilisation.
Some of its knowledge survived and formed the basis of the ancient
Egyptian civilisation. They also argue that the survivors left us
messages encoded in such monuments as the pyramids and Sphinx of Giza.

On the face of it, this seems an exciting and even reasonable idea.
But let's examine their evidence more closely.

In The Orion Mystery (1993), Robert Bauval argues that the three
pyramids of Giza were built to mirror the three stars of Orion's Belt.
This, in itself, is fine - it seems to work. But Bauval uses his
'Giza-Orion Correlation Theory' to link the monuments to a much more
ancient period.

His argument is this. The three pyramids form an angle of 45
degrees to the north-south meridian. To make the correlation
perfect, when the stars cross the celestial meridian they
should form the same angle.
However, when the Great Pyramid was built - in approximately 2500
BC - they didn't. Because of the precession of the equinoxes, the
position of the stars changes over time. Bauval reasoned that if
he could find a period at which the stars formed the same angle
as the pyramids, this would pinpoint a significant time - a time
to which the pyramid-builders were trying to draw our attention.
When he used computer simulations to wind back the precessional
cycle, he found that Orion's Belt was in the 'Giza position'
in 10500 BC.

However, when we decided to double check this, things took a rather
surprising turn. We discovered that the geometrician Robin J. Cook,
who actually produced the diagrams for The Orion Mystery, although
agreeing with most of Bauval's theory, strongly disagreed with this
part of Bauval's conclusions. We decided to check for ourselves to
find out who was right.

We found that the Belt stars were not in the 'Giza position' in
10500 BC. To find the stars in this position - according to the
same computer program used by Bauval - we have to go back to about
12000 BC at the earliest.

It seems that Bauval had simply made a mistake, and miscalculated
by a couple of thousand years. However, we will come back to this...

Probably the most famous development concerning ancient Egypt in the
last ten years has been the redating of the Sphinx by the erosion of
the limestone out of which it has been carved.

According to conventional Egyptology, the Sphinx was carved out
of the Giza plateau somewhere around 2500 BC. However, many - most
notably leading alternative Egyptologist John Anthony West -
maintained that it is, in reality, far older.

West believed that the erosion of the Sphinx was not caused by the
action of wind-blown sand, but by water. He believed that this was
due to a great flood - the flood that drowned Atlantis - and argued
that if this could be proven scientifically, this would be an
important step in not only establishing the true age of the
Egyptian civilisation, but also the existence of Atlantis.
Eventually, he succeeded in getting American geologist
Robert Schoch to take a look.

Shoch concluded that the erosion was due to water - centuries of
exposure to rain water. But, as he pointed out, if this was the
case, the Sphinx must have been there during the last period of
substantial rainfall in Egypt, which occurred between about 7000
and 5000 BC. This means that the Sphinx must be at least 2,500,
and perhaps as much as 5,000, years older than Egyptologists
will admit.

John Anthony West claims that Schoch's work vindicates his ideas.
However, it needs to be pointed out that West believed that a
flood was responsible for the erosion - and that, by finding that
it was actually due to prolonged exposure to rainwater, Schoch
has proven him just as wrong as he has the academic Egyptologists.

Schoch concluded that the Sphinx could have been built as long ago
as 7000 BC. However, both West and Graham Hancock have used his
work in support of a much earlier date - 10500 BC. They have been so
successful in this that many people now regard this as virtually
proven.

West and Hancock argue that the wet period pinpointed by Schoch was
not long enough to cause the erosion we see on the Sphinx. Instead,
they point to a wet period that, they say, happened in the eleventh
millennium BC - that is, around 10500 BC. Graham Hancock writes in
Fingerprints of the Gods that at this time 'it rained and rained
and rained.'

Imagine our surprise when we checked the sources on the climate of
ancient and prehistoric Egypt - including the source cited by Hancock
himself - and found that there was no wet period in the eleventh
millennium BC.

Like Robert Bauval, Hancock and West appear to have made a simple
mistake - but one that also happens to come out at the date of
10500 BC.

In his recent book Heaven's Mirror, co-authored with his wife Santha
Faiia, and in the accompanying Channel 4 television series, Hancock
has extended his argument in favour of that date to other ancient
monuments around the world - for example, the complex of Hindu
temples at Angkor in Cambodia. (Although these do not really qualify
as ancient, as the earliest was built in the eleventh century AD.)

Hancock argues that these temples were laid out to represent the
constellation of Draco - in the position in which it was found in
10500 BC. However, when we looked into this we found that there
really is no correlation between the temples and the stars.
There are temples which do not correspond to any of the stars of
Draco, stars for which there is no corresponding temple - and, in
any case, the pattern formed by the temples, as reconstructed by
Hancock, bears very little resemblance to Draco.

It seems that Hancock, Bauval and West are, for some reason, keen
to make sure that their research pinpoints the year 10500 BC - whether
or not the data actually fits.

But why 10500 BC?

Perhaps it is connected with the prophecies of the American psychic
Edgar Cayce - for whom Hancock and Bauval seem to have a great
deal of respect.

Edgar Cayce, known as the 'Sleeping Prophet', who died in 1945, is
widely believed to be a simple, uneducated Kentucky man, who entered
a trance state and made pronouncements about the ancient past as well
as giving predictions for the future. According to Cayce, the Great
Pyramid and Sphinx were built by survivors from Atlantis - in 10500
BC. He said that the Atlanteans had built an underground 'Hall of
Records' that contains the collected wisdom of their race and which,
he said, would be discovered in 1998. This would somehow trigger a
New Age, and the emergence of a new race.

We spent a lot of time looking at Cayce's predictions - and found
that, despite the fact that his followers claim that he was 'close
to one hundred per cent accurate', you would be hard pressed to
find even one of his prophecies that has come true.

For example, recently someone told us that Cayce was a brilliant
prophet because, in the early 1940s, he predicted that China would
become Communist by 1968. Of course, if true, that would be
impressive. Unfortunately, what Cayce actually said was that China
would become Christian by 1968.

But even so Cayce is extremely interesting. Far from being a virtual
simpleton, he was extremely widely read, and as a young man worked in
several bookstores. He was also entrusted with setting up new lodges
for his fellow Freemasons. But more significant than that were his
contacts.

We discovered that, just after the First World War, Cayce was called
in to advise President Woodrow Wilson. The person who arranged this
was a close friend of Cayce's, Colonel Edmond Starling, who was head
of the US Secret Service.

Cayce was best known for the cures that he prescribed while in trance,
which were often genuinely impressive. This is what hooked his
admirers, who made the fatal error of assuming that all his psychic
abilities were just as good. However, as we have seen, it turns out
that this is not the case. But people at the time did not know that
his predictions would fail, and he was feted by leading industrialists,
top politicians - including at least one President - senior Army
commanders, and members of the intelligence services.

Cayce, as we have seen, predicted the finding of the Hall of
Records at Giza. It is interesting that there have been many
attempts to find the Hall of Records there in the last 25 years.
It needs to be pointed out that the ancient Egyptians themselves
never mentioned any such thing in the context of Giza, nor is
there any archaeological evidence for it. The concept of the
Hall of Records comes entirely from Edgar Cayce.

As we would expect, the prime movers in the search for the Hall of
Records have been the Association for Research and Enlightenment
(ARE), which was formed by Cayce in the 1930s and continues to
promote his work.

Other key players on the Giza plateau (sometimes working in
collaboration with ARE) have been a team from a very interesting
organisation called SRI International (formerly the Stanford
Research Institute - ed.). This is one of the world's biggest
private scientific research institutes, and it has a
reputation - which we discovered is justified - for working
closely with the American military and intelligence community.
Around 75 per cent of SRI's income comes from contracts
with the Pentagon and other US government agencies, including
the CIA.

SRI made many expeditions to Egypt during the 1970s, taking with
it state-of-the-art equipment designed to locate hidden chambers.
The team was led by physicist Dr Lambert Dolphin Jr. But it is
interesting that they gave up looking at Giza in 1979, apparently
without having found anything. However, since then the mystique
of the Hall of Records has continued to be built up, so that
there is an expectation of revelations coming from Egypt in the
near future.

Now that 1998 - when Cayce said the Hall of Records would be
found - has passed, rumours are beginning to circulate that
it was found in the form of the so-called Tomb of Osiris.
This is a chamber at the bottom of a shaft some 120 feet
beneath the Giza plateau not far from the Sphinx, which was
re-excavated last year. It has no records of any kind in it,
and yet attempts are being made to pass this off as somehow
confirming Cayce's prophecy. In any case, it was first
excavated in the 1930s.

The point is that, if any of these people find something that
might be a Hall of Records, it will be taken as proof that
Cayce was right not only about his version of ancient history,
but also in his predictions of imminent global transformation.
But you can be sure that, if the year 2000 comes and goes
without any Hall of Records, the same people will continue
to exploit the increasingly fervent longing for it to be found.

Make no mistake: Egypt itself is a very potent symbol. This has
not escaped those that deal in the exploitation of belief
systems - such as the intelligence agencies.

Another emotive issue is the whole question of life on other
planets, and recently we have seen a concerted effort to
connect ancient Egypt with a putative lost civilisation on
Mars, as for example, in Hancock and Bauval's 1998 book
The Mars Mystery.

Everybody will be familiar with the so-called Face on Mars and
Pyramids of Mars, features of an area of known as Cydonia that
some argue can only be artificial. They were discovered in
photographs taken by the Viking mission in 1976.

Their most enthusiastic exponent is science writer Richard C.
Hoagland. Since the early 1980s, Hoagland has run a well-funded
group which is currently called the Enterprise Mission.
Although there are other, more cautious, researchers in this
field whose work deserves serious consideration, Hoagland and
his team's primary aim is not simply to promote the idea of
artificial structures on Mars, but to extrapolate from
their existence a message for Earth today - and for our
immediate future.
They also try to link the alleged monuments of Cydonia to
ancient Egypt.
Hoagland's own message is that the Martian monuments were
built by an extraterrestrial civilisation that came from
outside our solar system, who also visited ancient Egypt and
influenced the development of that civilisation - and who are
about to return.

Unfortunately for Hoagland, the so-called Face was re-imaged by the
Mars Global Surveyor last year, and shown to be nothing more than a
featureless rocky outcrop. Dismissing the new pictures as 'crap',
Hoagland is unrepentant and continues to maintain the Egypt-Mars
connection.

And in this Hancock and Bauval agree. To them also there is a link
between Mars and Egypt. Those authors use many of the same
arguments as Hoagland to try to prove the link. (Robert Temple, in the
new edition of The Sirius Mystery, has also endorsed the Face on Mars,
believing it to be connected with beings from Sirius.)

We ourselves think that the Mars story is by no means clear-cut. For
example, the Pyramids of Cydonia do seem strange for natural
formations. On the data currently available, it would be arrogant to
dismiss the case for them being artificial. However, we do disagree
when it comes to extrapolating messages from these features and
trying to link them with ancient Egypt. Here, we find that the
arguments put forward simply do not stand up.

Essentially the argument is this - and it's not much: there are
pyramids on Mars and there are pyramids in Egypt. But, of course,
there are pyramids in many places on Earth, and the Martian
pyramids are different in shape - the most prominent one, for
example, is five-sided - and size from those in Egypt.

Hoagland, Hancock and Bauval also argue that Giza and Mars do not
only have pyramids in common - but both also have a Sphinx! This
depends on whether you consider the Martian Face to be a Sphinx.
Well, they both have faces...

Then they fall back on linguistics - or rather, as we have discovered,
pseudo-linguistics. For example, Hoagland, Hancock and Bauval make
much of one of the ancient Egyptian names of the Sphinx, Horakhti,
which means 'Horus of the Horizon'. They claim that there are two
ancient Egyptian words, one meaning 'Horus' and the other meaning
'face', that sound exactly alike: heru. So Horakhti, they say, can be
translated as 'Face of the Horizon'. Could this be a description of
the Face on Mars, which would be on the horizon when viewed from some
of the other features? Well, no. For a start, the thing that none of
these authors tell us is that heru is a plural form of the word for
'face', so it actually means 'faces'. Besides, the hieroglyphs for
the two words are completely different. In any case, because
hieroglyphs don't include vowels, which therefore have to be largely
guessed at, how can anybody say that any two ancient Egyptian words
sounded alike?

Another linguistic loophole involves the Arab name for Cairo - Al
Qahira. This is also an Arab name for Mars. Not only is this fact
used to link Giza and Cydonia, but Hancock and Bauval actually say
that this is 'inexplicable'. But far from being inexplicable, the
reason that Cairo was given this name is, in fact, very well known.
Al Qahira literally means 'the Conqueror'. The city of Cairo did
not exist before 969 AD, when it was founded by an Arab general who
had just conquered that part of Egypt. True, Mars does come into it,
but only because at the time the city was founded the planet was
in a particularly auspicious position astrologically - especially
for a city built in honour of a conqueror. There is no mystery
about it - but Hoagland, Hancock and Bauval have made one.

There appears to be a genuine mystery about Mars. Perhaps there
really are pyramids or other artificial structures there.
However, attempts to link Cydonia with ancient Egypt simply don't
work and have been contrived. But for what purpose?

Perhaps a clue lies in the fact that Richard Hoagland was working
at SRI International when he first became interested in the
Martian enigmas in 1982. He formed a research group to study them
further, which was funded by SRI. The co-founder of this group was
Dr Lambert Dolphin, who a few years earlier had led the SRI teams
at Giza.

In case you think that we are overly paranoid about SRI's intimate
involvement with the Pentagon and CIA, it is as well to take on board
the initial reaction of one social scientist who attended Hoagland's
first lecture on the Face on Mars. What he said was:

'At first I thought it was some kind of joke, or maybe a complex
social experiment being conducted by the CIA - to study
psychological reactions to such a hypothetical discovery.
I mean - SRI involvement, 'Faces' on Mars... what would you
think?... Was this an elaborate psychological experiment sponsored
by the defense community?'

In fact, Hoagland's work has always received active encouragement by
members of the intelligence community, and most of the key members of
his research groups have connections with either intelligence agencies
or the Pentagon.

All of this is really, in a sense, just setting the scene for the
'stargate conspiracy', at the heart of which are revelations about
a very interesting group of people.

Nearly fifty years ago, this American group believed that they
had established contact with powerful extraterrestrial beings.
Not physical contact, but psychic or telepathic communication.
Over a period of many years these entities made many revelations
about themselves - including that they had been the gods worshipped
in ancient Egypt. (These beings called themselves
"The Council of Nine", as made more popular by
the book "The Only Planet Of Choice"; - ed.)

Let's make this clear. We are not talking about a little New
Age channelling group. From the very beginning - half a century
ago - it reached the very top levels of American society, even
involving a former Vice President. Since then its influence has
grown, and it now has followers across the world, including in
Britain. And it still whispers in the ear of the Presidency.

So what do these entities, or intelligences, claim?

They claim that they come from Sirius. They built the 'monuments'
of Mars (although, significantly, these claims only appeared
after the first NASA images of Cydonia.) They created the human
race, and taught it the arts of civilisation, and have guided us
from behind the scenes throughout history.

And they are now about to return to preside over a
great 'cleansing'.

They claim to have been responsible for the destruction of
Atlantis, after which survivors founded the Egyptian
civilisation and built the Great Pyramid - around the year
10500 BC. They claim that the Sphinx was built in honour
of them - and that there are hidden chambers that can
be accessed from beneath it.

Some of those who claim to be in contact with these
extraterrestrials also claim to have been in contact
with Edgar Cayce's spirit guide, and that Cayce's
pronouncements came from essentially the same source.

In its fifty-year history, the 'contact group' in touch with
these entities have had some very interesting dealings.
During the early 1970s, it was intimately involved with
SRI International - interestingly, at the same time that SRI
first became interested in Giza. In fact, one of the leaders
of this group worked alongside Lambert Dolphin's team.

Key members of this group have been behind the promotion of the Face
on Mars - and its connection with Egypt - from the very beginning. In
fact, Richard Hoagland's so-called Message of Cydonia comes directly
from these 'space-gods'.

Throughout its long history, many eminent names have been connected
with this group - names from the fields of politics, high finance,
entertainment, and even science.

Among those present at the 'first contact' with these alleged
extraterrestrials in 1952 was the philosopher and inventor
Arthur M. Young - who was later to become the mentor of
Robert Temple, and who directly inspired him to write
The Sirius Mystery.

Put like this it all sounds very exciting. Has contact with the
gods of ancient Egypt been re-established? Are they, as they p
romise, about to return?

Of course, many would consider their claims to have been backed up by
independent research: the connection between Sirius and ancient Egypt;
the importance of the year 10500 BC; the connection between Egypt
and Mars. But we have seen that all this 'evidence' is not only flawed
but highly contrived.

It must be pointed out that these allegedly all-knowing entities not
only make mistakes when dealing with ancient history, but sometimes
come out with downright howlers. They even give the ancient Egyptian
name for the Sphinx as arq ur - which, as we have seen, comes from a
misreading of a particular dictionary.

But the whole story takes on a much darker hue. We have discovered
that military and intelligence agencies, mainly the CIA, were involved
with this group right from the beginning. In fact, the research
institute where the entities first made their appearance was actually
a front for Pentagon psychological warfare and parapsychological
experiments.

The person who formed and led the 'contact group', and who first
established contact with the entities, was - at the very same time -
working for both the Pentagon and the CIA on various techniques of
psychological manipulation. This included the use of hallucinogenic
drugs, hypnosis and electromagnetic influence. He was working
specifically on ways to induce apparent mental contact with non-human
entities - and, much more disturbingly, this was part of the CIA's
MKULTRA mind control project.

We have seen the involvement of the CIA in much of this story.
But how far does it go?

Did they create this scenario from the beginning, as part of a
long-term programme of psychological and sociological manipulation?

Or could it really be that some non-human entities - but not
necessarily who they claim to be - are either running the show
or are partners in its stage management?

Either way, it should scare the hell out of us...
